Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang’ula has criticised the Saturday incident in which Deputy President William Ruto engaged Bomet Governor Isaac Rutto in a war of words at a funds rally in Bomet. He said for the Deputy President to reduce himself to a level where he engages in a shouting match with the governor is the lowest in leadership this country can go.
Wetang’ula spoke at a press conference in his rural home in Bungoma town on Sunday. He said the incident at Bomet Stadium was an insult and a violation of the constitution and should go to the court and challenge the Ruto’s suitability to hold public office. “The President and Deputy President play a key role in shaping the politics of this country. Even in the highest pressure I cannot engage in a shouting match with MCAs,” Wetang’ula said.
These are my colleagues in politics who work within and under my guidance. They look up to me in many things in shaping the politics of this county” . He termed the incident “embarrassing to the nation” “He should apologise to Kenyans for making the already convoluted politics of this country look even more uglier,” Wateng’ula said. He said Ruto should tell Kenyans where he gets all the money that he spends every weekend in “an average of 20, 30, 40 million a month”.
“We know the salary of the Deputy President. We know his businesses. Even if you are the owner of Barclays Bank you cannot donate all that money in harambees the way he does in a single weekend,” Wetang’ula said. “He can donate up to Sh20 million in a Harambees and then he turns around saying he is generous.”
Wetang’ula said the Jubilee administration has escalated corruption from the importation of subsidised fertiliser that never reaches the farmers, laptops project, pipeline and standard gauge railway that “has robbed citizens out of billions”.
